Interaction

Xylometazoline is contraindicated in patients currently receiving MAO inhibitors or who have received them in the previous 2 weeks. Concomitant use of tri- or tetracyclic antidepressants and sympathomimetic drugs may increase the sympathomimetic effect of xylometazoline, so this combination should be avoided.

Special Instructions

The recommended doses should not be exceeded, especially in children and the elderly. Prolonged (more than 10 days) or excessive use of the drug may cause “ricochet” effect (rhinitis medica) and/or atrophy of the nasal mucosa. Patients with prolonged QT interval syndrome using xylometazoline may be at increased risk of developing serious ventricular arrhythmias. Benzalkonium chloride, which is part of the drug, may cause irritation of the nasal mucosa.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles, machinery: The drug does not affect the ability to operate vehicles or equipment. When prolonged use in excess of the recommended doses we cannot exclude the possibility of its systemic effect. In such cases, caution should be exercised when driving vehicles or operating equipment.
